Help Justin build his online presence

I am Justin Goldstein, a freelance educator offering connection to ancestral Jewish wisdom as a means of finding purpose in our lives and to express our values in the world. After spending more than half my life as first a Jewish educator and then as a rabbi serving synagogues, I have found the time ripe to explore a new voice as a teacher and a new way of approaching bringing people into the timeless transmission of ancestral Jewish wisdom.

As a full time farmer, in addition to being a freelance educator, my time is limited to build the internet presence on my own necessary to share the knowledge I have accumulated over the last 20+ years. Your support will enable me to hire a professional web designer and social media consultant to help me reach the full extent of my potential is reaching those whose needs I might be able to serve.

I feel strongly that Jewish wisdom is not just for Jewish people, and that ancestral Jewish wisdom is so much more than just a religion. The wisdom of the Jewish tradition provides a framework for humans to flourish through cultivating mindful awareness and helping us adapt to the ever changing world around us. The historic models of engagement and building community no longer meet the basic needs of people today, and I believe that with your support I will be able to contribute humbly to the evolving ways in which people connect to this ancient wisdom tradition. My hope is to inspire people with this wisdom to lead more enriching lives dedicated to building a world that is founded upon equity and compassion.

With your support I am ready to make this dream a reality.

"Justin's ability to reveal obscure ideas in texts is matched by an enthusiasm that encourages deeper curiosity." Ken V.

"Justin is an exquisite and lucid teacher, who expresses concepts beautifully and with full sensitivity for the various knowledge levels in his audience. Thoughtful, well organized and highly expressive classes are the norm, with full fealty to the deep knowledge he has of the Jewish tradition and how it might be applied currently. Don't forgo the chance to know him better! An enriching and lovely experience." Elie A.

"If you'd like to learn from or with Justin be ready to have your preconceptions nudged and expanded in all the right ways for the sake of learning. He's the type of teacher you can tell is brimming with knowledge but doesn't think they know everything. Someone who has taken many paths and is willing to see the downfalls and merits of all of them. Curiosity is at the center and will be your guide, Justin is merely curiosity's companion." Gwyneth K.
